The "less is more" paradox is reflected here in the changing nature of the onion; the way the onion itself seems to strengthen under the force of altruistic behavior and weaken under the force of selfish behavior. Thank you for supporting this channel via Subscribe & Like.🍂

I read The Brothers Karamazov years ago. This novel is a classic. It has so many insightful passages.
